Hi,

i'm trying to setup up a lab only with X terminals, but i can't allow them to open X from our server. I'm using SuSE-6.4 and ltsp for the terminals. I boot my terminals using bootp and they mount their rootfs through nfs. But that's not the problem, when they start they own copy of they cannot get kdm and the only thing that appears in the screen is just X (no kdm, no xdm, nothing). I hope somebody can give me some help because i read the whole xdm documentation and the X documentation, modify Xaccess, Xsetup, xdm-config, ... and nothing happens.

tia

bye

Hi Carlos, this was changed in SuSE-6.4 for security reasons. Take a closer look at the last lines in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-config: ! ! SECURITY: do not listen for XDMCP or Chooser requests ! Comment out this line if you want to manage X terminals with xdm ! DisplayManager.requestPort: 0 ^- Just comment out this line using an "!". Also, check /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xaccess .
